* best creamed spinach i’ve ever had * you could skip the burger * prime rib is as good as expected amazing service. they also do wine by the half glass. we wanted to box half of our burger because we couldn’t finish. another guest accidentally took our box, and the staff insisted on giving us another burger for free. we declined, because we didn’t want to trouble them. in the end, the staff took the burger off of our check even when we told them it was fine.

Really loved everything here. The service was amazing, drinks were fabulous and of course the food lived up to the hype. The burger was my favorite part of the meal. If I had to pick I would choose it over the wagyu steak but if you can share and get a few things, do that. Definitely get the bone marrow to eat with the steak if you get a steak. Honorable mention to the otoro tuna at the beginning of the meal that was oh so buttery. Of the desserts I preferred the sundae over the chocolate cake but both are quite popular.

Hands down the best Burger, it lives up to the hype. I never order a strip steak and we went with the Wagyu strip, Best steak I’ve ever had. The cut melted in your mouth and the flavors were superb. I highly recommend the side of mushrooms and the Baked Potato. Angie and the waiter from Madison provided such an experience, they definitely understand hospitality. They truly made this experience that much more of a celebration and wonderful evening night out with friends and family.

Everything about this place is great. We had high expectations and they definitely exceeded expectations. Burger is good. Very rich, I wouldn’t say best in the city, but definitely a must try. Prime rib charles cut was amazing. Finally the chocolate dessert was the best thing we had and I’m not even a dessert person. Any restaurant that knows how to make a gibson without me having to explain is always a promising start.

Nowadays this restaurant has an impossible reservation to get online. We managed to get a reservation by showing up at the door a few weeks in advanced and putting our name down on the list. The service and atmosphere were amazing! The burger was to die for, our steak was perfectly cooked on the inside but kind of burnt on the outside. French dip was kind of meh in my opinion so I wasn’t too crazy about the steak or the french dip. I loved the burger, truffle mac & cheese and also the mushroom for the side 🤤 we also got a couple of desserts that were amazing too! Except the steak that was a little bit of a let down everything else was great!

One of the toughest reservations in NYC, 4 Charles lives up to all the hype. One of our Members was able to get us in here and we sampled the menu. Everything was great. Known for their burger, which lives up to its best in the world reputation, don't sleep on everything else from apps to sides to the desserts. Can't wait to return!

First off, I want to thank Brandon, Rebecca and rest of the staff for such a wonderful time yesterday. The food was amazing and I would definitely come back if I can snag another reservation. The Wagyu burger was so good with the eggs, I had to lick all the juices off the plate to savor the taste. I also had the little gem salad which was very crunch and fresh. The main course I had the Chicago cut prime rib along with mashed potatoes and creamy spinach. The charred ends along with the fat made it taste amazing. The middle part was also very tender and juicy. I highly recommend this cut! I also wanted to try the shrimp scampi because the aroma was off the charts, but next time! Just an overall great experience and worth it!

Tiny spot with a few table seatings only. The prime rib Chicago cut was pretty nice, but the real highlight for me was the chocolate cake dessert. The espresso martini is pretty smooth too. Attentive staff.
